Name Origin

A possibility: The simple explanation of the matter of names, is that Dermot or Diarmuid O'Mahony, from either Cork or Kerry, (O'Hart, Irish Pedigrees, pp. 121 & 524), whose Irish family name O'Mathghamhna, meaning "the beare of the plaine" was pronounced (though not spelled) O’Mahowna, endeavoured to change his name to its English equivalent of Matthew, (Journal, American Irish Historical Society, 14:173,) but to have been consistent he should have changed his Christian name to Jeremiah, as his son Teig did when he became Thaddeus. That the name Mahoone as finally evolved, was pronounced Mahowna seems to be proved by his wife's signature about 1650 as " Dina Mahowna" to one of the many for the release of Mrs. Alice Tilley, midwife, from Boston Gaol. (Massachusetts Archives 9:14). Edmonds, John H., “Dorman Mahoone Alis Mathews, an Early Boston Irishman.” Paper read before the Bostonian Society May 23, 1916.
